I urge your readers to vote for Carol Shea-Porter for Congress. Carol has spent her professional life serving others, and first ran for office “for the rest of us,” to keep us a land of opportunity and fairness. She sees that so many of our problems are rooted in Big Money in politics — and understands the importance of getting it out.

In Washington, D.C., supporting our military service veterans takes sincere commitment and tenacity and no one knows that better than Carol Shea-Porter, a former military spouse and daughter of a World War II veteran, who has consistently worked for legislation that would support our men and women in uniform.

As a veteran, I was glad to see former Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter get endorsed again by the Veterans and Military Families for Progress. They said, "Ms. Shea-Porter's strong commitment to the issues that are critical to veterans, those serving now, and their families is unsurpassed."

If you are a New Hampshire Democrat, chances are you have Republican friends. You’ve probably struggled with how to talk with them about their party leaders. We seem to be living in an era in which far too many “good men do nothing.” (The full quote, sometimes attributed to Irish statesman Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.")

What we need in Washington D.C. is a Representative whose interests lies first with the constituents of New Hampshire, and whose dedication to public service has been proven. We need Carol Shea-Porter.

CONCORD, N.H. – When it comes to women in elected office, Maine stands out for longevity, Vermont for relatively high representation in its Legislature and New Hampshire for achievements across all levels of government.

As Democrat Hillary Clinton seeks to become the nation’s first female president, though, an analysis by The Associated Press finds that women in the U.S. remain significantly underrepresented at all levels of elected office. Though women make up more than half of the American population, they account for just a fifth of all U.S. representatives and senators and a quarter of state lawmakers. They serve as slightly more than a tenth of governors, in only six states, including New Hampshire.
